Spring fling 2021 hop and party time at STAMPlorations

Hello and a very warm welcome to the 2021 Spring fling event over at STAMPlorations 
I am delighted to be taking part together with some of the STAMPgirl teamies. You will find all the details here

There are some awesome prizes up for grab including;

blog hop prizes:
3 winners of a $7 prize code randomly drawn from comments left on the STAMPlorations blog and designers' blogs

linky prizes:
2 winners of a $12 prize code
1 winner of a $25 prize code

 PLUS
extra prizes:
a few surprise winners randomly drawn from their social media accounts (FB, IG, Pinterest, blogs) to win either prize codes or products so don't forget to also leave a comment on my post today!

The hop and linky are open until June 7. The winners announced on June 10 in their May winners post.

For my make I wanted to showcase the gorgeous new "Quick card fronts" which Shery has in the store. I used the set called Spring florals which are available to buy here. You get 8 card fronts in a pack and they are the most AWESOME thickness and quality. If you want to make quick quality cards then these are a must buy. 
You can just use them as they are or they are fun to add a little stamping to.

This is what I did;
First I die cut the thanks word die in purple glitter card and stuck it on the card front. Then I stamped and cut out the butterfly from Blossom like a butterfly


 I also stamped and cut out some flowers from It's a girl thing;sunshine
I stamped a few more flowers onto a background of blue card and then added the card front to finish.

Here is my finished make

A tag for Paris

Hi everyone it's time for my 2nd design team make for Country View Challenges.  For my first make I made this set of Paris inspired Artist trading coins and shared some photos from my last trip to Paris 10 years ago.

 If you missed it you can see it here
This time I decided to make use of some of the masterboard I had left over from those ATCs.
I stamped the tag with some text and then added strips of the leftover masterboard.


I added a heart, some tiny text stickers and a stamp of the Eiffel Tower to finish it off.
Here it is;
with a couple of close ups


and one final shot;

I hope I may have inspired you to join in with our May "We'll always have Paris" challenge. You can use any stamps/products, the choice is yours. 

You can enter our challenge as many times as you like and combine with other challenges. There is also a £20 crafting voucher up for grabs to the lucky randomly selected winner to spend over on the Country View Crafts on line store. Remember that UK postage and packing from CVC is free on all orders over £7.50! Once again all the details for the May challenge can be found  here.
